Question: A continuous one - way floor slab spans between beams spaced with a regular 4 . 5 - m clear span ( the web widths

A continuous one-way floor slab spans between beams spaced with a regular 4.5-m clear span
(the web widths of the integral supporting beams are 300-mm wide). The specified floor
loading consists of a live load of 4.8kPa and a superimposed dead load of 2.4kPa, in addition
to self-weight. Design the slab thickness and longitudinal reinforcement at the support and
midspan regions, consistent with all strength and detailing requirements.
Assume fc=30MPa and fy=400MPa, interior exposure conditions, and that the slab
comprises more than 2 spans. Note that your designs should have a common slab thickness for
both (i.e., negative and positive) regions and should be designed considering the worst-case
negative and positive bending moments that must be considered for the continuous slab.
